Hello. My name is Marc Alan Fishman, and I am … a collector. I’ve attempted many times to stop. I thought getting married, having a mortgage, and a kid would get in the way. It didn’t. I even have another kid on the way, and yet, I can’t shake off my problem. Shiny toys, gadgets, and brick-a-brak litter my life like dumbass xenophobic one liners litter Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. I’d heard once that the first step to overcoming a bad habit was to admit you had a problem. Well, I’ll be honest: I don’t actually have a problem collecting stuff. But I do have a budding problem with the crate culture that’s being cultivated out and about in this age of the Interwebs.
For those still living in a cave, let me bring you up to speed. The Internet is a large...

July 8 marked the third installment of this year’s Cinema East summer movie series. True to its reputation, it showed off two great films by local filmmakers.
Hellion is the short by Kat Candler that has been playing at many of the largest film festivals in the country, including Sundance and SXSW. I am currently a film student at The University of Texas and had Kat as a professor last year for the Advanced Narrative Production class. I’ve been trying to see Hellion since it was announced that it would be playing at Sundance. So, when I heard that it would be screening at Cinema East, I was set on going.
Hellion tells the story of three brothers who wreak havoc and the consequences when their father finds out. In the interest of not giving anything away, I’ll leave the rest of it a mystery...

A Robert Connolly-produced film – which features a range of big-name Australian filmmakers and actors directing different chapters of the film – has received funding from Screen Australia.

Connolly’s multi-director project comes a few months after the announcement that the screen agency was investing in John Polson’s film Sydney Unplugged featuring short films by prominent Australian filmmakers.
Connolly, producer of The Boys, Romulus and My Father and director of The Bank, Three Dollars and Balibo, is a board member of Screen Australia.
A Screen Australia spokesperson told Encore: “We have a clear working conflict of interest policy that works.

When you consider the fact Futurama was off the air for nearly seven years, the fact that last night's episode, "The Mutants Are Revolting," was the 100th episode was pretty impressive. Unfortunately, the episode just wasn't nearly as impressive as that fact.
We've come to expect great things from Futurama this season and the show doing its second Titanic parody was just not what we were expecting. This time, rather than being in space, the Titanic "ship" was the largest and only land boat.
Sure the concept is hilarious and it was cleverly used in the plot, but when the shows did such a great job in the first season episode, "A Flight to Remember," why bring back the Titanic jokes?
Outside of that minor complaint, the episode had some great heart and a fun surprise ending. The good jokes were limited, but here are some we thought worked:
Zoidberg floating in as Mary Poppins.

It’s a bit of a bummer that we end off the season – and celebrate Futurama’s hundredth episode – with one of the weakest entries this season. It’s also a little tough to pinpoint what didn’t quite work about this episode, as it has all the ingredients of a classic.
If anything, part of the problem is that it follows the Simpsons formula too closely. Meaning, in case you’ve never heard of The Simpsons, the first five minutes are an unrelated gag, usually hilarious – and then once you get into the main plot, everything slows down.
So in this episode of Futurama, there’s a great first five minutes There’s a great first five minutes where the gang delivers their hundredth package, a soufflé with a drop of nitro-glycerin on it for the aged Mrs. Astor. It sets up a brilliant bit involving Bender’s gyroscopic abilities,...

In “Clash of the Titans,” the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth.
Propelling audiences into a mythological world of epic action and adventure, “Clash of the Titans” is presented in 3D, making the gods even more formidable, the creatures even more fearsome, and taking audiences even deeper into the mythological realm of Perseus’ quest. Directed by Louis Leterrier, the film’s supporting cast includes Mads Mikkelsen, Gemma Arterton, Jason Flemyng, Danny Huston, and Alexa Davalos.

SYDNEY -- Recent Australian releases Little Fish, Look Both Ways and The Proposition dominated nominations for major awards in the Inside Film Awards and the Film Critics' Circle of Australia Awards announced Tuesday. Both organizations said that all three films have been nominated for best film and most other key categories. The IF Awards, voted by the public through the Internet and industry committees, will be handed out in Sydney on Nov. 23, while the FCCA Awards, judged by Australia's key film critics, will be announced in Melbourne Nov.12. The IF Awards gave director John Hillcoat's The Proposition nine nominations, including best director and actor (Guy Pearce); the FCCA offered 11 nominations for Rowan Woods' Little Fish, including best film, director and actress (Cate Blanchett) but mostly mirrored the IF Awards tally. Sarah Watt's Look Both Ways also reflected the general tone, with similar nominations in most categories and thriller Wolf Creek fared well. One big surprise was the almost total absence of Robert Connolly's Three Dollars, one of the most popular local films at the boxoffice earlier this year, apart from an FCCA nomination for adapted screenplay.
